I am looking for any information that someone might have regarding Alvin Bruce and Velma Hamilton. Both are buried in the Fairview Cemetery in New Berlin. He was born in Oct. 1869, possibly around Worcester and his parents were Samuel and Mary Bruce. Velma was born in Sept. 1871 in New Berlin and her parents were Thomas and Pheba Hamilton. I do know that they lived in Lebanon around 1891 and Pittsfield in 1904. I do have quite a bit of information regarding the Bruce line prior to Alvin appearing in the New Berlin area but very little on the Hamiltons.

Isaac Hayes (not the musician) came to Unadilla around 1800, and he and Curtis Noble were instrumental in the settling of Unadilla. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Query:HANOR/HAYNER

WILLIAM AUGUSTUS HANOR/HAYNER; Found living in the OTSEGO Co. ALMSHOUSE as an "Inmate" on the Census enumerated 1/19/1920, where his name appears as AUGUSTUS W. HAYNER, age 83y.
The Almshouse was located in MIDDLEFIELD. Can anyone tell me if there was a cemetery attached to the Almshouse, or a Pauper's lot in some local cemetery which may now be lost? Or any cemeteries in Middlefield which are not enumerated online? I am having great difficulty locating the death and burial of William, which must have occurred sometime after 1/19/1920. FURTHER, William is listed as "MARRIED," but his wife is not there that I can see (the census image is extremely faint - even Ancestry.com could not decipher it and so he is not in their index), and Hannah does not appear anywhere on this census under the name Hanor or its variants. She is not with her daughter Ida, either.

I am also trying to locate his wife, HANNAH E. (SNYDER) HANOR (d/o Anthony & Roxy (nee?) SNYDER). Hannah last appears on the 1900 Census with William, in MILFORD. The twist is, that in 1910, William is still living without Hannah, in Otsego (Town of), on a "Farm Estate" managed by Jay D. Wilson. William is listed as a "Hired Man, Farm Laborer, Working Out," with his age given as 69y. He gives his MARITAL STATUS as "MARRIED (1) [for] 40 years. Not Widowed, not Divorced. So where is Hannah? She does not appear anywhere on either the 1910 or 1920 censuses that I can find. Did she die after the 1900 census? And if so, when and where, and where is she buried? Does William continue to list himself as Married out of respect or grief? OR did they separate or divorce, and she remarried? Also having great difficulty locating the death & burial of Hannah.
These are my Great-Great-Great Grands through daughter IDA (HANOR) (SOUTHWORTH my line) HOPKINS.
I am also trying to locate their SONS -
GEORGE M. HANOR, b. 7/1859 prob. in Lysander, Onondaga Co. (family there on 1860 census, don't yet know why, though. Back in Otsego Co., Schenevus, by 1870); George is last seen living with the family in Milford on the 1900 census; age 40, Single, Farm Laborer
IRA HANOR, b. 12/1/1876 (another twist - he is NOT with the family on the 1880 census, but is there in 1900, listed as a son of Wm. & Hannah); He is last "seen" when he filled out a WWI Draft Registration Card on 9/1/1918, when he was living on Chestnut St. in Oneonta, apparently Single, age 41, a Boiler Maker's helper for the D & H Co.; He gives his next of kin as [sic] ALICE MAY HANOR, who, IF he is the correct Ira, is INCORRECT for his sister IDA MAY, who was by now a widowed SOUTHWORTH, remarried to HOPKINS. Seems the family was not very close.
Could Ira have died in WWI? It seems to me that he would have been too old to be called up. Are there any town/county records of those who served or died at that time in History?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Would like to pool information on this family and take

I am trying to find the parents of a Mary BRACE, born April 1787 in Bethlehem CT. Her parents are allegedly Joseph BRACE, a Rev. War Patriot, and Lucy HAWLEY, whose father is also a Rev. War Patriot. I have come across these two names in Otsego county in the early 1800's. If anyone has any information on birth, death records of these families I would be very grateful.

Joseph Hawley (widow Lucinda) pension records dated 183x he was "of Otsego County, NY" and in other records refers to Butternuts (Otsego County - now Cooperstown - it states).

I'm looking for the "roots" of the Head family, Henry, Truman etc. who lived and died in Otsego County. It's a good possibility this family connects in some way to the Head family of early Rhode Island of whom my Henry HEAD b. 1756 and son William HEAD b. 1776 came to Steuben Co, NY. Henry's son William was born in CT and next son b. in MA and I'm sort of thinking they came thru Stephentown, NY from Massachusetts to NY State. Any ideas, clues or help much appreciated.

Hartom born Dec 16,1852 in Roseboom, Otsego, Ny, is my ggg grand-

from the Lutheran Church in Cherry Valley (founded in the early
1800's and long since abandoned, the foundation and a few grave
markers remain.)In the record a Jacob Hartung is referenced with
his wife, Elizabeth, having their son Michael being baptized. The
birth date of this Michael is also Oct 4, 1811. While referencing
the history of Otsego County I found that a Lutheran Church was
founded in the Cherry Valley Area and one of its officer/deacons
was named Jacob Hartorm. While all of this circumstantial evidence
may point to my ggggg grandfather and a possible family name
change, to date I have been unable to confirm this to my satis-
